customize GRR3

[Former Member]

Hi. I have a huge problem. In my company there are 4 business units (BUKRS). At this moment there is one setting of costs-structure in GRR3 for all business units. My task is to allow different customizing for one of units in that way the structure won't influence on other units reports ( reports from GRR3 -> 1VK / "Cost Centers: Absorption Costing VAI").

Is there some possibility to customize that? Or maybe I have to write a separate new transaction which'll give user reports? Can You give me some tip? Greetings. P.|

Hi,

The standard reporting is based on controlling area. It is possible to make reports wher you can report on company code.

In the most situations you make your reports based on the Standard Hierarchy or other stuctures. In the most situation is one level in your stucture company code.

Then you can create some variants for the reports for the user by company. (based on your Hierarchy)

GRRS is geen customizing transaction.

Whe user have only authorization for 1 company code they will get only the values from there company code. (perhaps you can use this)

Where can I set that variant? In which place? Or where can I define my own hierarchy? Because I want users of only one unit to be allowed to modify the hierarchy. In other units modifications can't be seen.

What does it mean that GRR3 is a 'geen' customizing transaction? My english is sometimes poor, forgive me

Hi,

Based on the library you're using (1VK), I assumed you're using CCA to run the reports?

To create another hierarchy, you can use transaction KSH1.

Hope this helps.

What does it mean that there is one level in my structure company code?

2.

Where in SAP can I connect hierarchy with particular unit?

Hi,

No worries on whether you're experience or not.

Ok... I hope I can help Paul answer some of the question...

>>In the most situation is one level in your stucture company code

company codes are usually the legal way of reporting financial data. Remember in your cost centre master you key in a company code for the cost centre. Hence normally we can perceive the structure of the cost centres in the company's angle as

CoCd 0001

|- CCtr 1

|- CCtr 2

|- CCtr 4

and so on

However, with the transaction KSH1, I can freely define a hierarchy, for any internal management reporting usage. And these are called the cost centre groups.

eg

HEADOFF

|- Corporate

|- Corporate Finance

|- CCtr 1

|- Corporate Sales

|- CCtr 2

|- CCtr 4

|- Information Systems

|- Head IS

and so on.

Authorization in the reportwriter programs can be segregated either by the company codes, or through some Z* objects to restrict by the cost centre group, depending on how you want structure the reporting within an organization.

Hope this helps.
